The problem with using monit restart whatever, is that after a cycle 
monit sends an alert telling me the ppid has changed. Usually to 0 or 1. 
This happens mostly with dhcpd, I think I've seen something similar with 
smb. An alert == an sms, so it's annoying (and sms should be annoying!).

Anyway, I usually do monit unmonitor whatever && /etc/init.d/whatever 
restart && monit monitor all/whatever.
